Fitness score

I don't understand the fitness score. If I do a very hilly slow run, then my fitness score only goes up by 1. The same distance on flat tarmac at average pace, my fitness score goes up far more. It doesn't appear to take account of elevation gain or gradients which is annoying.

Strava route planning improvements

I make fairly intensive use of the Strava map function to plan cycling routes, and while many aspects are great (crowdsourcing popular routes especially) I have a growing list of things I think could make route planning better. I’d be interested in hearing other people’s views…and am hoping Strava can do something with the thoughts below. Including major road names/numbers as standard on the Strava map would be a good addition, especially when route planning in an unfamiliar area. It helps to know you’re not inadvertently planning a route down the local bypass.it would also be really helpful if the Strava map you use for route planning showed your favourited segments on it. Case in point, from time to time I try to get real about tackling some proper (uk) hills. The top 100 climbs app lets you access all of these as segments in Strava, but trying to plan a route involving one or more of these still involves you first memorising where they appear on the map and then plotting your route

heatmaps

One of the things i loved about strava, and why i started paying for subscription, was the heatmaps. They changed them a while back and have not been as enjoyable. However, a recent change change has made them almost a waste of time. I ride a 60 mile ride at least once a month and, each month its in a different place. I would love to see these adding to my heatmap but, strava does this stupid color variant where the fewer times you ride the route, the harder it is to see. So... when I look at my heatmap, all of the amazing rides are barely visible. Strava should change the heatmap back to how it used to me. The heatmap is a map of routes weve ridden. If weve ridden the route.... we should be able to see it. At least you could make this an option. Many of us needing to use third party heatmaps to get the effect.

Hello

I'm new here, a vintage roadie (both me and most of my 10+ bikes). I've been using Strava for four or five years, mostly to track my yearly mileage.I'm interested in downloading my activity through the API. I know about the bulk export feature and have used it, but will be looking for something more real-time.

Group Pages

Hi, I have recently started a group page and learning about widgets, posts and event invites.It seems I am unable to create a 'swim' event, only run or cycle. Is this correct? or am I doing something wrong?

Watch Recommendation

Hello, I am a somewhat new runner who would like some advice from any longtime runners. I am trying to find an affordable watch to use when logging my running. I have been using my phone but it is big and uncomfortable to wear on my arm so I am looking for a watch. I really just need it to log distance and time accurately. Anything else would be a bonus. I have found a few cheaper watches, but I have read reviews that say they do not log distances correctly. Any advice and suggestions would be appreciated.CoCo_Mend

Missing Time Display

My activity record on Strava decides to omit the time on every third or fourth run. They are all conducted the same, there is no correlation between whether there are achievements displayed or not. It has only started in the last six weeks or so - is it just a bug?It is not an issue of elapsed vs moving time - I just get no time at all, only distance and pace or elevation (if a run in the hills). I upload via Garmin connect but it has never been an issue for years prior. All apps have been updated.I have tried editing the events and selecting ‘race’ or ‘long run’ but nothing has the time displayed on the home page. Two days of similar runs, one with time and the other without - both conducted the same way.Any ideas?

Introduction and General Question

Hi everyone. My name is Gary, and I am new to Strava. I currently own a Aviron rower and have been syncing my workouts with Strava. However, I might be overlooking something, but I can't seem to find anywhere on the website or app where Strava shows the total amount of meters rowed. When I used to have a Concept2 rower, their website would show the lifetime meters rowed. Thank you.

Equipment

Hello. Here´s an idea. When we edit activity, we should be able to alocate more than one equipment to the same activity. For example, if we change shoes during the activity, that feature would be very usefull for counting the distance for each shoes used.What do you think about it?

Why has Strava become so crappy?

Im giving up on this app, my feed is so full of strava notifications that i give up trying to find the posts i am interested in. Everything seems to be designed to encourage getting a subscription, mine stopped when the cost was secretly increased.Its sad really, this used to be a unique and useful app but there are better options out there now

High Mileage

Although I have not set a goal, are there any runners that might be interested in running and recording high mileage as a club/group on Strava, it can be a weekly, a monthly or a yearly total.
